Application tiled November 17, 1911. Serial No. 660,839.

To all 'whom 'it may concern:

Be. it known that I, SAMUEL D. GAzzoLo, a citizen of the United States, residing at Joliet, in the county of Will and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Folding Paper Boxes, of Which the following is a specification.

My invention'relates to improvements in paper-folding-boxesA and the object of my invention is to minimize the breakage of articles made chiefly from glass in boxing and shipping the same.v

The paper box With'my device is mainly intended for boxing and shipping incandescent globes, yetI With variations in relative dimensions, a paper-box with my device can be used in boxing various kinds of globes.

Another object ofmy device is to avoid the necessity of packing around a lglass globe in a box, thus saving time, expense and avoiding the litter caused by packing 'materials, and at the same time greatly reduce the danger ofbreakage from concussions.

I attain these objects by the structure illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in whichy Figure l is a perspective'view of the box with ends open and all the laps and iiaps in View, and F ig. 2 is\ a View of an incandescent globe.-\

As appears; the whole box is made from one piece of box-paper. The flap l is integral with the end of a Wall and hinges on the same by means of scoring, and by means of further scoring forms the spacer l and the intermediate supporter l which has the perforation 4 to receive one end of an article to be boxed. Flap .2 is a duplicate of flap l in all respects except that its perforation may have differentdimensions and its members are designated as spacer 2 and supporter 2, respectively. The closure flaps 5, 6, and 7 and tuck 7 are duplicates of closure flaps), 10 and 8 and tuck 8, in the l -order named.

As my box can be used to box a great variety of articles differing in shape, size, substance and value, it will be necessary to vary .the size of the box as Well as the relative dimensions of its parts, the relative sizes and proportions of the spacers and perforations especially depend upon the shape of the article to be boxed. vWhere the article is especially valuable and end sealing is advisable, the tuck can be used as a. seal, and the intermediate closure flaps may even be dispensed'vith. The outer flaps 7 and 8, exclusive ofrtheir' tucks, and each of said supporters, each cover the cross-section of the box, While said intermediate flaps, each cover only a `port-ion of said crossseetion, and for this reason, in cutting out the carton, there is-papernough to supply spacers on all sidesof said supporters 1J and 2, and I am making them With both 'two and 'four spacers each. Four spacers increase the strength for the heavier articles.

A four-sided tubular paper box, each end of which is closed by four flaps, one of said flaps forming two spacing members and an intermediate supporting member, said supporting member being perforated to receive a portion of an article and of a size to fit the cross-section of said boxftheappposite iiap forming a closure tlapfotL-a size and shape to cover the cross-section of said box and, also, carrying a tuck flap, and the intermediate fiaps forming closure flapsand each covering a large portion of said crosssection.

Witness my hand this 14th day of November, 1911, in the presence of\tWo subscribing Witnesses.
